The Door Student Services, Inc.

"Where Everyone Is Family"

The Door is designed to reach teens in communities through solving three essential needs:1. The Need of Every Teen to be Fed.2. The Need for Every Teen to be Part of a Family.3. The Need of Every Teen to Find Faith.

The National Center for Addictions and Substance Abuse at Columbia Universitydetermined that the kids who turn out best have two things in common.1) They belong to a faith group like a church or youth ministry, and2) They have dinner with their family 3 or more nights a week.

We step in to provide support in both of these areas in tangible ways. Being located in a residential home helps us maintain a strong family culture, while an upgraded commercial kitchen frees us to be able to safely and efficiently provide daily meals to an average of 40 teens in each of our locations. Our programs have always been able to be offered free of charge to any teen who needs them thanks to the sacrificial support by many individuals, churches, and local businesses!
